MBA is blessed with a diverse group of deciduous trees, many of which are impressively large, several of which have won the Big Tree Contest sponsored by the Nashville Tree Foundation. This present work identifies the trees of the North Campus, by common name, scientific name, and location.
The location of the trees is by GIS, Geographic Information Systems, wherein the trees were located by GPS (Global Positioning System), and can be viewed online anywhere on Google Earth.
This inventory also measures characteristics of our trees, which are available on the maps and in a spreadsheet, and a data page.
Height (ft)
Crown (ft)
Circumference (in)
Future work could include growth data, fruit production, phenology, botanical,and statistical studies.
Nashville artist Charles Brindley has drawn and painted several of our trees, and for his work and descriptions, please click here.

Welcome to MBA trees- South Campus-2012
The extensive building campaigns with the advent of Lowry Hall and the new Wallace Hall have changed the face of much of the campus. The East side, with its new entrance, is completely transformed, and the South side has new tennis courts, parking, and a berm with all new plantings
This continuation of the 2010 tree project provides the location of over 400 trees, along with their height and circumference.
Many of the young trees are redbuds, elms, and oaks.
